The name is a bit corny, but at least it's accurate. Chevrelait, pronounced like the American car company, is the combination of the French words "Chevre" - meaning "goat", and "Lait" - meaning "milk". We discovered this brand new smoked goat's milk cheese while in Holland not too long ago. Similar in looks to Dutch Smoked Gouda, it is a log-shaped cheese with an edible brown rind and a pale white interior. That is where the similarity ends, however, as Chevrelait tastes decidedly "goaty". If you like the taste of traditional chevre, you'll find Chevrelait to be a familiar, yet unique alternative.

On a 2014 trip to Holland I came across this cheese. Loved it then and bought some to bring home. Love the light smoke taste and creamy texture of this cheese. Buying it thru igourmet is a lot cheaper than a trip to Holland.

This

WOW! want a lightly smoked cheese that is so good you can't stop eating it? Try this if you haven't yet. I just got a whole form (4# roll) and have shared it with my daughter's family, son's family and a neighbor. They are all raving about it. It's mainly for snacking...with or without crackers. The description says it tastes "goaty", but I think the smoked flavor covers it over quite well - but then, I LOVE goat cheeses.

Smoked gouda meets aged chevre

Tastes like a dry smoked gouda at first but melts into a nice aged chevre if you let it on crackers. Great cooking and salad cheese that crumbles and melts quite well. Drier than your average gouda. Well well worth the price.

Excellent for sandwiches

This log shaped cheese slices well, and holds up
to seasoned meat with its flavorful tang.
Just a great alternative cheese for those who cannot tolerate cow's milk cheese.
